oh I had a really good one that I made and then never posted! it rebranded entertainment! by gang of four as "nintendo entertainment! system" and replaced the pics of the cowboy and the india with mario and luigi.

is the Wire - 154/McDonald's one still up there? that was hands down my favorite.

― de latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 03:12 (nineteen years ago)

This thread was once so funny but is now so sad because of all the missing pictures. I wonder if anybody saved it when it was at its prime.

― Cunga (Cunga), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 03:43 (nineteen years ago)

I KNOW WHAT COMMERCIAL INSPIRED THAT ONE. (Because it perplexed the living daylights out of me when I saw it during the Golden Globes telecast.) Also -- I'm sorry for being unrealistic, but that photo depresses me.

It's funny how you can see a commercial and say, "I bet this is going to be a thread on ILM." I'm kind of inured to it now, after seeing TV commercials with The Fall, Minutemen, Christoph de Babalon, Dead Boys, Nick Drake, Cat Power, etc.

― Edward III (edward iii), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

This thread has inspired me to upload that one album cover mockup I did that actually worked:

Anyone ever save the missing pictures when they were still up? I forget if I never did it or if I just lost them.

― Cunga, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 08:39 (seventeen years ago)

Even with the broken links, this is still the best thread on ILM ever.

― The Boring Machine (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 3 February 2009 08:50 (seventeen years ago)

I can't get "download them all" to nab the pictures. Anybody want to see if they can host all of these somewhere so we have them all backed up? Too much gold in this here thread to not make sure we have them saved somewhere
